- W55458192 abstract "River Gordon is about four miles distant fromSarah Island. Its entrance is narrow, with a bar, uponwhich there is a depth of water of about two fathoms,deepening almost immediately to 10 fathoms. entranceto the river has now been well beaconed, andrenders navigation safe.Following the Elliott Range eastward, we nextnotice an elevated flat belt of open country, called theHigh Plain. Across this plain came Sir John and LadyFranklin and party, on their memorable overlandjourney from Hobart in 1842, piloted by the late Mr.James Erskine Calder, afterwards Surveyor-General ofTasmania.There is a fine outcrop of limestone at LimekilnReach, 12 miles from the river entrance, which in theearly days was quarried and burned by a party from theSarah Island establishment.Pining was carried out in the Gordon and vicinity, and it will take at least a century for the young forest to mature again.As roads are mostly non-existent, so trees are carried downstream by the river.The source of the Gordon is in Lake Richmond.under the shadow oi the King William Range, whenceit flows through picturesque surroundings in theRasselas Valley, making a long and graceful sweepround Mount Wright, which is known as The GreatBend.The preservation of scenery in other parts of theworld is receiving the greatest attention, and even inEngland a society has been formed for the preservationof Swiss scenery. How much greater is the necessityexistent in a country like Tasmania, relying so muchupon her tourist traffic, to preserve by every meanswithin her power attractions without which such a trafficwould diminish rather than increase, to the serious lossof the state. One hesitates to put this selfish aspect ofthe case before a learned society, but necessity knowsno law. and, after all, a public awakening may be betteraroused by a proposition in this form rather than froma more scientific standpoint." @default.
